Answer:

Number is x = -13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number is x

Given condition:

number divided by three is nine more than the number.

This can be written as:

x/3 = 9 + x

Taking x sides at left of equal will make the signs opposite

x/3 - x = 9

Taking denominators of both terms same (3)

x/3 - x* 3/3 = 9

(x- 3x)/ 3 = 9

-2x/3 =9

Multiplying both sides by -3/2

x = 9*(-3/2)

x = -27/2

x= -13.5

Proof:

Given condition is:

x/3 = 9 + x

Putting value of x

-13.5/3 = 9 + (-13.5)

-4.5 = -4.5

I hope it will help you!

Carlos is using the quadratic formula to find the solutions of y=3x^2-5x-2. Which of the following will simplify to the correct

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

$Fx=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation in one variable given by the general expression:

$ax^2+bx+c$

Where:

$a\neq 0$

The roots of this equation can be found using the quadratic formula, which is given by:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

So:

$y(x)=3x^2-5x-2=0$

As you can see, in this case:

$a=3\\b=-5\\c=-2$

Using the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(3)(-2)} }{2(3)}=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}$

Therefore, the answer is:

$Fx=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}$
